This is a Tokay gecko. Most geckos are much smaller. Tokays are one of the largest gecko species, known for their particularly nasty bites and defensive nature.

And yes they bark. Geckos are quite vocal.

FR! They only way I’ve managed to get them to let go is to hold it under water until it physically can’t hold its breath anymore, these assholes are abundant at my grandma’s farm.

I’ll be honest, before it moved slightly I thought it was a drawing. Cool and unsettling that they get to that size.

TumTumMac24 t1_j9o7uiq wrote

I’ve paid attention to lots of cats and dogs and I really don’t believe they can smell lizards.

They can see them and know it’s something there alive but since they can’t smell them they get awfully close to see what it is.

I’m sure that’s how so many dogs get caught by gators too because they are confused about what they see versus what they smell.

I’m no scientist just an observation, maybe I’m wrong I’ve never even looked into it. Just always thought it was weird how they all act like they can’t smell them.

This species is found in northeast India, Bhutan, Nepal, and Bangladesh; throughout Southeast Asia, including Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia; and toward western New Guinea. It’s also been spotted in parts of Northern Australia. It’s considered the second largest gecko species with the New Caledonian gecko being the largest with sizes as large as 36cm (14 inches)

Edit: I forgot to mention the name of this species. Its a Tokay Gecko.

This gecko got inside my house in Thailand and laid eggs, I was so scared.

It took me and my mom a whole night to make this big one go away because it keep hiding behind closets or refrigerator. Another weeks to drove all baby geckos out of my house.

Everyone complaining about the time covered but no one talking about the cute little delicate placement of the paws on the garbage can to establish stability, the brief distraction of the fly, how absolutely lean and precision carved this adorable little lady is (and if not a lady, intersex at the very least as orange and black are mutually exclusive X chromosome characteristics). She's almost wearing a tortoiseshell tuxedo. I'll bet she's under 2 years old and very friendly.

Please send help, I'm horribly allergic to cats and can't pet them without wearing a face mask but I love them and need all of them.

Ya. I wonder how many frames it would be visible in if this wasn't some shitty video or was slowed down. (Aka actual speed/reaction time).

We try to kick the cats out for bedtime, and I'm never 100% confident they didn't just randomly sneak back in right in front of my eyes. They will just appear.

Looks like a tokay gekko. I had one as a pet and I wasn't as fast as the cat. I now own the dubious honour of being the first person at my local hospital in Scotland suffering from a lizard bite. My gekko almost removed all the skin from my knuckle, when I was feeling it.

They absolutely can smell them. Some snakes are quite stinky. One of my dogs is fascinated by reptiles and will hunt and kill snakes, the other is grossed out by them and will sniff and then shake his head and recoil in disgust.

I used to go on vacations in a pretty rural area -- I'd live in a hut house with a tin roof while I'm there. On really hot days, the tin roof gets extremely hot and they'd let go from the ceiling, plopping down to the floor. Scared the crap out of me. I always slept with the mosquito netting over me, more for tokay falling off the roof protection than mosquitos.

I had one for a pet. When i bought it at the reptile pet store the guy selling it said it was tge only thing in the srore that they guaranteed will bite you. It was a pain in the ass and constantly escaped. Beautiful though. Purple with orange spots. Fed it mice...

Used to work in a pet store where we sold these.

You had to dunk it under water in order to release its jaws from your hands. I made the mistake once of cleaning their habitats without gloves.

They are indeed beautiful creatures, though!

I have one right now! He’s actually somewhat socialized where I’m not too scared of him biting but I am still very careful. I’m always scared of him getting out and then having to try to catch him however.

Their pattern and colors are super unique.
